Chag Sameach!

No matter what you call it, Shavuot is one of my absolute favorite holidays!

I love the whole harvest aspect, I love Megillat Rut, I love making a zer prachim (a wreath of flowers for my kids’ heads), I love eating cheesecake – and of course, I love that this is the anniversary of when HaShem gave us our Torah! Our nation was made complete today!

(I used to love staying up all night and learning, but then I had kids who don’t sleep through the night, and my perspective on that one changed a wee bit.)
